Description

The process described pertains to the converter steelmaking method used to produce crude steel from a combination of hot metal and scrap steel. This applies to the steelmaking industry and is specifically utilized in plants that are identified by the given process name. It supports the production of a wide range of steel products such as construction materials, automotive components, and appliances. Users of this data set should account for variations in the quality of steel depending on the proportions of hot metal to scrap steel used in the process. Attention should be given to the regional variations of the input materials and technology. It is essential to consider this data set as part of a larger system when conducting a Life Cycle Assessment, especially concerning the end-of-life recycling phase, as this may impact the environmental profile of the steel produced.
